OMAHA, Neb. — Professional golfer Marco Dawson shot 65’s on Thursday and Friday, playing 36 holes with just 26 putts. Dawson made history by hitting the green from 161 yards out on a par-3 on the eighth hole — acing his shot. He then proceeded to ace the following par-3 ninth hole from 153 yards out as well, becoming the first person in the history of the tournament to ace two consecutive holes.
Xander Schauffele’s victory at the 2023 US Open has drawn praise from legendary golfer Phil Mickelson. Mickelson, a six-time major champion, described Schauffele’s performance as “exceptional” and hailed his mental toughness after overcoming a quadruple bogey in the second round. Other golf stars have echoed Mickelson’s sentiments, with Dustin Johnson calling Schauffele’s win “impressive” and Justin Thomas praising his “grit and determination.” Schauffele’s triumph at The Country Club marked his first major championship victory and cemented his status as one of the top golfers in the world.
Sam Burns and Danny Willett are lighting up the Bermuda Championship, both firing impressive 65s in the opening round to share the lead. Hot on their heels is Dana Springer, just one stroke behind with a solid 66. Springer has been on a remarkable run lately, making history last week as the first player in PGA Tour history to record eight sub-60 rounds in a single season. If he clinches victory this week, he’ll soar into the top 20 of the world rankings
